    modified form of Vitamin C for enhanced stability and effectiveness

    A Vitamin C derivative, also known as an ascorbic acid derivative, is a modified form of Vitamin C designed to enhance its stability and effectiveness in various applications, such as skincare and pharmaceuticals. These derivatives, like sodium ascorbyl phosphate or magnesium ascorbyl phosphate, are often used because they are less prone to oxidation and can be more easily absorbed by the skin or body, providing similar antioxidant benefits as pure Vitamin C.
